We are delighted to share that we have been nominated for the Inspiration Award by the Royal Philharmonic Society (RPS). The Inspiration Award recognises the contribution of non-professional ensembles or individuals and we are thrilled to be joining a stellar line up of nominees.
The award takes into consideration our activities from September 2023 to August 2024, a period that coincides with our 40th anniversary project. This includes the launch of our podcast ‘Sing It Pink’, our specially commissioned piece ‘Home Made Musical Hope Machine’ and our documentary film ‘A Magical Journey of Queerness’, on top of a huge number of performances and events. So this nomination really is the icing on the cake of what has been an incredible period in the choir’s history.
Unlike other Royal Philharmonic Society awards, The Inspiration Award is decided upon by public vote. We would love it if you could take a few moments to register your vote via the RPS website. A few of us will be heading to the awards ceremony at Birmingham Conservatoire where the winner will be announced on 6th March 2025. Until then, we’re keeping everything crossed!
